Repackaging and Performance Analysis of Implantable Pressure Sensor.

Abstract

In recent years, repackaging technology has been widely used in miniaturized implantable pressure sensors. However, the current packaging structure still has significant problems regarding biocompatibility, environmental adaptability, and measurement accuracy, which greatly limits its application in vivo measurement systems. In this paper, we report a method for implantable pressure sensor repackaging based on silicone oil, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film, and polymer (parylene) coating. A systematic investigation using finite element analysis is conducted to assess the impact of packaging components on sensor performance, providing a solid theoretical foundation for packaging optimization. Experimental results demonstrate that when the parylene coating thickness is below 30 µm, the sensors exhibit superior linearity, repeatability, and reliability, along with exceptional stability and dynamic response across clinically relevant pressure ranges. This research provides valuable insights into the packaging design of implantable pressure sensors, facilitating the development of more stable, reliable, and cost-effective sensors for in vivo measurement systems.
